Red Barnet

Red Barnet (Save the Children Denmark) is a Danish non-profit organization and a member of the international Save the Children movement. Established in 1945, it is a democratic organization supported by members and volunteers. It operates through approximately 60 active local associations and around 1,000 volunteers who work in various ways to promote children's rights. The organization has nearly 18,000 members, contributors, and sponsors. Red Barnet is known for maintaining a list of internet domains that most Danish internet service providers block due to child pornography. This list has led to criticism that Red Barnet, in cooperation with the police, has introduced internet censorship in Denmark, the so-called "child pornography filter." Critics argue that the filter blocks websites on purely administrative grounds, in violation of Section 77 of the Danish Constitution regarding freedom of expression.
